For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in Italian dressing for 30 minutes before beginning the recipe. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or fontina, to complement the giardiniera. If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer the chicken to a baking sheet after frying. To easily crush the croutons without a food processor, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to an even 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thickness. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a food processor, pulse croutons until they are finely crushed into crumbs. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with the crouton crumbs, one with the flour, and one with the beaten eggs. (5 minutes)
04
StepDredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, press the chicken into the crouton crumbs, ensuring a thorough and even coating. (10 minutes)
05
StepHeat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes. Flip and fry for an additional 2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the skillet from the heat. (8 minutes)
06
StepTop each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of giardiniera, followed by a slice of provolone cheese. (3 minutes)
07
StepTransfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear, and the cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (10 minutes)
08
StepGarnish with minced fresh parsley before serving. (2 minutes)
